Book Review: The Fall

By Sara Steven

They climbed up from the mean streets of Glasgow to the top of the world. Now these Hollywood icons are heading for a fall.

Twenty-five years ago, three friends from Glasgow shocked the world when they became Oscar-winning legends.

But now, they are all fighting for survival.

A-list actor Zander Leith has finally found happiness with his adored wife, Hollie. But a stalker with a familiar face is determined to take away the only peace he’s ever known.

Mirren McLean is one of the most powerful women in the industry. Successful. Respected. Untouchable. Until one mistake threatens to destroy her marriage and her career.

And Davie Johnston was once the king of late-night television. Now, his only chance to reclaim his crown is to gamble everything on himself.

Three stars, three tales of struggle and success. Now they’re discovering that in Hollywood, happy endings don’t last forever.

Sometimes they’re just the calm before the storm… (Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads.)

The one and only disturbing thing I’ve just come to realize about this Hollywood series created by these two authors, is that I’ve somehow missed the 2nd installment, The Catch! How that happened, I’m not sure, but I can honestly tell you that The Rise (reviewed here) was perfection, and The Fall is even better perfected!  

Half a decade later, we catch up with three friends who initially seem to have escaped the chaos and turmoil of their infamously famous lives, but that elusive security only lasts so long. I love the way each chapter is given to us from various characters’ perspectives, so we’re not only peering in from the outside, but getting a front row seat to what is really occurring for all the major players. Zander finds love with Hollie, but his newfound status quo is torn from him. Mirren has finally reignited her own love life, as well, until one reckless choice threatens to ruin everything she’s worked so hard for. And Davie, the guy who can’t seem to take his relationships seriously, finds himself within one–until he’s not.

The writing style that is provided from both authors is pretty amazing. The quips, the dialogue, the structure. I never felt a lull on any page and when I had to take a break, I was always eager to get back to it and find out what would happen next. Granted, I read The Rise, so I’m invested in the characters, but this could easily be a standalone, too. Backstory is provided from the beginning, so anyone can pick up where the previous two books had left off–obviously, since I somehow missed the second book. There is an event that occurs for Sarah, Davie’s girl, that might have been explained more and I didn’t get the chance to explore that, but I never felt like I missed a beat. She explains it in detail and trust me, it’s excruciating. Given the climate and the times we live in, I have a feeling it will stick with me for a very long time.   

Despite the seriousness, the intrigue, and the twists and turns with whodunnit moments, there are a lot of fun elements that are wrapped up within the words to The Fall. When characters are speaking to one another, the conversations are realistic. Like recordings taken from real-life people. I believe I described The Rise as a behind-the-scenes documentary, and for The Fall, I could easily see it as a bright shining screenplay for the big screen. It really is that good. It’s another five-star experience for this book series addition!  

Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for the book in exchange for an honest review.

We're pleased to have Erika Montgomery at CLC today to talk about her latest novel, Our Place on the Island, which will be releasing on Tuesday. We had a fun time chatting with her and we learned that she and Melissa are practically neighbors. :) We hope you will enjoy meeting her too. Thanks to St. Martin's Press, we have THREE copies for some lucky readers. :)

A card-carrying cinephile and native New Englander, novelist Erika Montgomery lives with her family in the Mid-Atlantic where she teaches creative writing and watches an unspeakable amount of old movies. She is also the author of A Summer to Remember.

Synopsis:

For decades, the Campbell women have reunited at the family’s rambling seaside cottage known as Beech House to celebrate life’s many occasions. But this year, they will be called back to Martha’s Vineyard for a celebration of a different sort: their beloved matriarch Cora is getting remarried. And all the town gossips are calling him the one who got away, years ago…

Mickey’s mother, Hedy, is still mourning the passing of her adored father three years earlier, and she isn’t sure she’s ready to welcome a new man into the fold—and she’s not certain her own thorny relationship with her mother will weather the storm of her upcoming marriage.

But everyone knows a woman’s heart holds more than meets the eye. For Cora, drawing her daughter and granddaughter back to Beech House isn’t just about a ceremony, but a chance to reveal a history she has kept close to her heart for decades. As the days leading up to the wedding unfold, secrets of Cora’s past come to light—a secret that will test the Campbell women’s bond and could bring enduring change to their family dynamic.

Told in dual timelines on the sumptuous beaches of Martha's Vineyard, Our Place on the Island is the sparkling, romantic read of the season.

“Our Place on the Island is a gorgeous and warm-hearted novel, full to brimming with the best kinds of love stories. Erika Montgomery has created a rich and irresistible world. Once you turn the first page, you’ll never want to leave.”
—Nina de Gramont, New York Times Bestselling author of The Christie Affair

“Captivating from the first word, Erika Montgomery’s latest masterpiece is a story about families, about the secrets we keep—even from those we cherish the most—about the enduring power of love, and the way the salty summer air supernaturally soothes all wounds. Our Place on the Island will undoubtedly become a classic summer read that will be picked up again and again by beachgoers generation after generation—grandmother to mother to daughter.”
—Joy Callaway, International Bestselling author of All the Pretty Places

What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing?
First, a great big thank you to you all for honoring me with a visit today. I’m thrilled to be here.
I am always especially grateful when readers tell me my books transport them. Reading for me is pure escape, so when I hear that I’ve given a reprieve from reality to someone else through my stories and my characters, it means the world to me.

Which of the women in Our Place on the Island do you identify with the most?
As I write, I am continually struck at how what resonates with me changes from book to book, age to age. In the case of this novel, I discovered things about all three of the main characters that I identified with as I wrote their story.

In 1948, Cora is a young bride brought to her husband’s family’s summer house on Martha’s Vineyard who struggles immediately to fit in to the exclusive enclave of Oyster Point. As much as she loves her husband, Cora misses the excitement and sense of purpose she knew as a chef during the war when she filled in for her deployed uncle at his restaurant. I definitely identified with Cora’s feelings of being a fish out of water, and of that conflict between wanting to both fit in and stand-out at the same time. Wanting to belong is a universal desire, but I also think there is a challenge in the journey if it means sacrificing a personal passion, or our sense of self. So when we first meet Cora at seventy-two, we see a woman who has finally come into her own and made peace with her past as she prepares to marry a man she met fifty years earlier. Now, on the eve of her wedding, the challenge is how does she help her daughter and granddaughter make peace with it, too?

As someone near in age to Cora’s forty-nine-year-old daughter Hedy, I identified with her worries about aging and staying vital and competitive in her field, as well as Hedy’s lingering grief for a lost parent and struggling to watch the surviving parent move on to a new relationship. Like Cora’s grand-daughter Mickey, who is madly in love with her head chef boyfriend, Wes, and desperate to make their partnership (both as lovers and as co-owners of a restaurant) a success, I also wear my heart unabashedly on my sleeve at all times, and am an intensely loyal person, so those qualities of hers hit close to home for me too.

PS: Learning which characters others relate to, and how, is one of my favorite things about talking with readers at book clubs and bookstore events—so I can’t wait to hear what your readers think! 

If Our Place were made into a movie, who would you cast in the leading roles?
I love love LOVE casting my characters! Since the book is set in two time periods—the present, which is 1999, and 1948—some roles would need two actors, so my dream cast would be:
Mickey and Wes: Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Hedy and Tom: Diane Lane and Dermot Mulroney
Cora in 1999: Sissy Spacek, Cora in 1948: Elle Fanning 
Max in 1999: Sam Elliott, Max in 1948: Austin Butler

What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
There are so many! I don’t know what took me so long to get on the Liane Moriarty fan train but consider me a devoted passenger now having just torn through her fabulous thriller, The Husband’s Secret. I also loved Deanna Raybourn’s deliciously-paced and witty Killers of a Certain Age, about a group of female assassins brought out of retirement to learn who is looking to snuff them out. 

What is your go-to summertime beverage?
I’m very easy when it comes to summer drinks. While I love taking the time to craft a really special cocktail, I’m also a big fan of something quick and simple: club soda with lime, or a glass of chilled white. (I’ll usually drop berries into the glass—a lazy person’s Sangria, maybe? My friends always tease me because I can’t pour a glass of wine without adding fruit to it. It’s a compulsion!)

If we were to visit you right now, what are some places you would take us to see?
I’m currently living in Western Maryland, so we’d start by picking up a coffee drink from Lost Dog Coffee then take a long, shady morning walk along the Potomac on the C&O Canal, or maybe on one of the walking trails in Antietam Battlefield National Park. I’d definitely take you to some of my favorite local bookstores: Turn the Page in Boonsboro, MD, Curious Iguana in Frederick, MD and Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, WV. And, of course, to keep our busy selves fueled and cool, we’d need to eat and drink locally (and liberally) so I’d make sure we stopped at Maria’s Taqueria before heading over to the Bavarian Inn’s Rathskeller for a Bourbon Smash. 

Thanks to Erika for chatting with us and to St. Martin's Press for sharing her book with our readers.

Book Review: A Little Ray of Sunshine

By Allyson Bales

Harlow, the eldest of four children, is the responsible and reliable one.  She owns a cozy and charming bookstore in Wellfleet in Cape Cod.  Her life goals consist of making her bookstore, “Open Book,” the best bookstore on the Cape and winning every trivia game she has ever played.  Much to her sister Addie’s disappointment, Harlow can't see herself getting married let alone having kids.  That’s until she meets Matthew, the son she gave up for adoption almost 18 years ago and told no one about.  Matthew convinced his parents to take a family vacation to the Cape secretly hoping he could meet his birth mother and comes into the bookstore one night.  Chaos and so much more ensues and like all of the other books I have read by Kristan Higgins, I was absorbed into the Smiths' world from the very start!   

Higgins' writing style is one of my favorites.  I often don’t get through one of her books without crying as her characters are always so layered with depth and so much heart.  A Little Ray of Sunshine explores the adoption process through multiple points of view and the way I rooted for and fell in love with her characters made this such a heartwarming read for me.  I work in mental health with at-risk teenagers and many of them struggle with shifting family dynamics and the adoption process.  Blending families is not an easy feat and the way Higgins depicted the experience gave me such an important perspective.  What it’s like to make that difficult decision for the birth mother and how it impacts their life after as well as what it’s like for the adoptive parents was eloquently and empathetically portrayed.

I also loved the Smith family.  They are a tight knit group with loving parents that are still so romantic after so many years, and involved and supportive children.  The characters are well developed and I really enjoyed getting to know them.  On top of that, Grandpop is my favorite character!  What I wouldn’t do to meet him in real life and take him home with me!  

Higgins is right, “Motherhood.  Not for sissies” and I loved following along on Harlow’s emotional and transformative journey.  There is so much depth in this story with incredibly engaging and well developed and relatable characters that makes this the perfect summer read! 

I also highly recommend another of Higgins’ reads, If You Only Knew.

Thanks to Berkley for the book in exchange for an honest review.

Spotlight and Giveaway: Best Men

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 Today, we are celebrating by featuring Best Men by Sidney Karger. Melissa loves LGBTQIA+ novels and she definitely wants to read this one. Thanks to Berkley, we have one copy to give away!

Max Moody is a hot mess. A thirty-something living in New York City, all he wants is to meet Prince Charming. When his childhood best friend, Paige, gets engaged before him and asks him to be her man of honor, the mental breakdown is inevitable.  

Enter Paige’s soon to be brother-in-law Chasten. Not only is he super-hot, charming, and really good at wedding planning, but he also happens to be Max’s recent epically bad one-night stand. Suddenly Paige has two gay best friends, and no matter how hard Max tries to be the best man of honor, he falls short.  

As the wedding nears, the two men must learn how to work together to make sure their friend gets hitched without a hitch. Max and Chasten may be like oil and water, but their chemistry is undeniable. Can they move past their rivalry and have a love story of their own?  

"There's so much to love about Sid's brilliantly hilarious debut book. With sharp-witted dialogue, charming, smart characters and tons of heart, Best Men is such a funny, clever, fresh take on modern romance. From start to finish, you won't stop laughing! I just loved it!!!!"

“Best Men takes the reins of the rom com and reinvents the genre in a thoroughly modern way. Karger’s debut is inventive, hilarious, and satisfying; it’s also a keenly-observed portrayal of love and friendship. This is a hilarious, heartfelt, charmer of a book.”
—Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding
 
“With an unforgettable voice, Best Men is all at once funny, tender, and wise. A sexy, swoony, summer love story to get lost in!”
—Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail

Book Review: Everything’s Fine

By Jami Denison

I have a strong memory of election night 2016…. Me, watching the election returns and crying, my then husband texting me laughing emojis as more states came in for Trump. There’s a reason we’re divorced now. 

Can two people at opposite ends of the political spectrum make a relationship work? Or has politics gotten too polarizing over the past decade? In Cecilia Rabess’s debut novel, Everything’s Fine, the author explores what it’s like to love someone who sees the world differently than you do. It’s not easy. But in the end, is it worth it?

The first time Jess meets Josh, they’re college freshmen in 2008 going to school in Washington, D.C. The same reporter interviews them about Obama’s election. She’s poetic, humbled, over the moon. He complains about the economy. Her picture ends up in the paper next to his, ruining the article for her. As seniors, they take a law class together; Josh needles her about affirmative action. He really is the worst.

Then, after Jess graduates, moves to New York City, and joins Goldman Sachs (she was a math major), she’s surprised to learn that Josh works there as well, and has been assigned as her mentor. When she jokingly asked why he didn’t tell their colleagues “I’m amazing,” he answers, “I don’t think you are amazing.” 

Let the games begin.

Everything’s Fine is publicized as an across-the-aisle romance, and Jess’s relationship with Josh is the spine of the book. But this is Jess’s story, and she’s so much more than a liberal who developed a crush on a conservative. (Josh, of course, labels himself a moderate.) A Black girl who grew up in an all-white Nebraska neighborhood, she was raised by a widowed father who took her to task for having white male celebrities on her bedroom wall. In college, she dated a white frat boy who treated her like a dirty secret, and none of her girlfriends were Black. In student loan debt, she chooses a high-paying job with an investment bank rather than following her heart at a magazine when she realizes her co-workers all get financial support from their parents. 

At work, the racial microaggressions are so insulting, it makes a reader want to throw her Kindle across the room. Jess is treated like an assistant, considered a diversity hire, shamed for giving her opinion in brainstorming meetings, and called a distraction. As she and Josh get closer and closer (they become genuine friends, and then he brings her aboard when he switches firms), I found it infuriating that he faults Jess for the way she is treated at work rather than seeing it for what it is. Josh, who grew up on the wrong side of Greenwich, Connecticut, but nonetheless went to Choate and considers a billionaire a close family friend, has a chip on his shoulder from growing up so close to wealth but not sharing in it. He cites conservative talking points such as “affirmative action is racist” and “Voters support Trump because of economic concerns.” A brilliant trader, Josh still believes in supply-side economics, a theory that has been disproven again and again. 

As a reader, I felt I should root for Jess and Josh to get together, for her experiences to make him a more enlightened person. But I didn’t, and she didn’t. I was frustrated that Rabess didn’t give Jess better answers to Josh’s conservative and economic arguments, and that Jess excused Josh’s self-centeredness because he treated her well most of the time. On her own, Jess is an amazing character trying to grow up and become her own person, and I would have wanted to read about her even without the complication of Josh. Yet there does seem to be a broader message in their relationship: If these two can make it work, can’t the entire country? 

Is mutual attraction and intellectual parity enough to overcome serious disagreements about the world? Rabess leaves the question unanswered, as the book ends on the day of Trump’s inauguration. I hope she writes a sequel, because I’d love to see how Jess and Josh deal with the country under Trump. For Jess’s sake, I hope it’s better than my ex-husband and I did.

Guest Book Review: The Enchanted Hacienda

By Allyson Bales

If you are a fan of Sarah Addison Allen’s books and Disney’s Encanto, this is the perfect read for you!

Harlow, a quirky thoughtful writer working for a small indie publisher is dating Chad, a hoity-toity lawyer, and living in New York City.  After a heated argument Harlow heads to her family’s farm and enchanted hacienda in Mexico.  There we get to meet the Estrada women and follow along on Harlow’s journey of self-discovery.  There is magic, romance, and the Estrada Family!

I was incredibly charmed by the Estrada Family.  Harlow’s mother, sisters, aunts, and cousins are the perfect blend of support and truthfulness.  Their bond is intense and each family member, except for Harlow, has a magical power.  They can interpret dreams, erase memories, conjure ghosts, and heal hearts and together they protect and nurture those around them.  I love these women and their banter and unconditional love for one another.  They reminded me so much of my family and friends and women supporting women is so uplifting!

Harlow’s journey to find herself is one that is very relatable and also uplifting!  I love how invested she is in becoming a writer and her will to figure herself out.  So many people struggle with not giving up and end up settling and I love how Harlow refused to do that!  I also loved Harlow’s love interest Ben.  The way they meet and the relationship that grows between them was so fun and organic.  I am a believer of signs and I love how that is portrayed in their connection.  Also, Ben comes and goes a lot making the build up so worth it and the center of the story really about Harlow and I really enjoyed that narrative.  Harlow should be the main character in her road to happiness!

I was absolutely enamored with the scenery and also all of the descriptions of the flowers.  Did you know that the symbolism of the sunflower is devotion, opportunity, ambition, happiness, and good luck? I didn’t but now I do and I want to be surrounded by sunflowers and buy everyone I know sunflowers!  Mexico has always been on my bucket list of places and Cervantes’ descriptions of the beautiful landscapes made me feel like I was there.  Also Harlow goes to a coffee shop/bookshop with journals that made me wish it existed in real life.

I really hope this becomes a series and I get to see the Estrada women again!  The Enchanted Hacienda was such a captivating story and if you are looking for magic, family bonds, and beautiful scenery to escape to, this is the story for you!  

Thanks to Harlequin for the book in exchange for an honest review.

Synopsis:
People-pleasing Hope Robinson can’t seem to please anyone lately--not her slogan-spewing boss, not her pink-haired teenage daughter, and especially not her mother, the flamboyant soap-star, Olivia Grant. Olivia loves Elvis more than Jesus, and now that she’s on oxygen, she insists Hope take her on a final trip to Graceland. Unfortunately, that’s the one place Hope can’t go. Eighteen years earlier, pregnant and distraught, Hope fled Tennessee with a secret agreement: to never reveal her baby’s father and never return to Memphis.

Olivia, though, has never learned the word no. After she wrangles Hope’s impulsive daughter, Dylan, to drive her from Boston to Memphis with the promise of meeting her mystery father, Hope has no choice but to chase after them. She must stop them before they ambush Dylan’s father, exposing Hope’s lies, breaking the NDA, and igniting a political and media firestorm.

Along the road to Memphis, as the women encounter former soap actors, free-range ferrets, and a trio of Elvis-impersonating frat boys, everyone’s long-held secrets begin to unravel. In order to become the family they long to be, Hope, Olivia, and Dylan must face hard truths about themselves and one another on the bumpy road to acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately, grace. (Courtesy of Amazon.)

“Graceland is a sparkling, warm-hearted, witty debut. I so enjoyed joining these three generations  of women on their action-packed road trip to Memphis!”  
—Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author 

“Brimming with mischief and mystery, Nancy Crochiere’s Graceland is as heartfelt as it is  hilarious. This generational road trip pulls you in with speed and locks you in for the ride— much like the feisty force of nature, Olivia, who models for her daughter and  granddaughter living life with vigor despite fears and challenges. Make time in your  schedule because you won’t be sleeping until you finish this charming gem of a novel.”  
—Ann Garvin, USA Today bestselling author of I Thought You Said This Would Work 

What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing?
The other day, someone on Twitter who’d received an advance copy of GRACELAND said she read the entire book in one sitting. I’ve been telling people it’s a page turner, so that was great to hear.

Which of the three women in Graceland can you relate to most?
I’m most like Hope, an introvert and a people-pleaser who wishes she could be the life of the party, but has not one clue how to make that happen.

If Graceland were made into a movie, who would you cast in the leading roles?
I think Emily Blunt and John Krasinski would make a fabulous Hope and Aaron. For Olivia, perhaps Jane Fonda, though I wouldn’t rip the script out of Meryl Streep’s hands. Not sure about Dylan. Originally, I pictured Billie Eilish, but she’s no longer a teen.

Which TV series are you currently binge watching?
Better Call Saul. The writing is fabulous.

Tell us about a memorable funny experience you've had as a mom.
Growing up, my girls were involved in so many activities, I lived in the car, and survived by multi-tasking. Once, on the way to a soccer banquet, I tossed a salad while in the Dunkin’s Drive Thru. 

What is your favorite music to listen to on a road trip?
I enjoy Taylor Swift, but lately—not surprisingly—I’ve been listening to a lot of Elvis. There’s nothing like belting out “Suspicious Minds” or “Kentucky Rain” as you wiggle your way through Boston traffic.
